Thanks to their generous donations, I obtained a much better sturdier vintage sewing machine for $40! (the sewing machine I’ve been using is a very plastic, very mini, very frustrating machine) along with all the fabric, yarn and thread that you see in the picture. The pile of fabric to the far left all came from a store whose proceeds go to the humane society. So, we got fabric for five quilt backings and they got funds to buy something that the shelter needed, a win-win I’d say!
